Product Information

Full details

The Mountain Equipment Aerotherm Hooded Jacket is a specialized lightweight soft shell designed for active mountain enthusiasts who prioritize wind resistance and breathability during high-intensity pursuits. Its advanced EXOLITE 45 double weave fabric and moisture-wicking lining offer excellent thermal regulation, making it ideal for climbing or fast-paced trekking; however, it is not a fully waterproof hardshell, so it is best utilized as an outer layer in fair conditions or a mid-layer during storms.

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, it is a wind-resistant soft shell. It offers protection against light mist or short showers, but it is not seam-taped or fully waterproof.

Does it pack down small?

Yes, it is highly packable and can be compressed into its own hand pocket, making it easy to clip to a harness or tuck into a small pack.

Can I wear this over a thick mid-layer?

The jacket features an Active fit; while it works well over a base layer or light fleece, layering a bulky down jacket underneath may restrict movement.

What is the best way to wash this jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C using a technical cleaner. Do not use bleach or fabric conditioner. Line dry in a well-ventilated area.

Does the hood fit over a climbing helmet?

The Mountain Hood is adjustable, but it is primarily designed to fit securely over the head or a low-profile beanie.

Troubleshooting

Water beads up less effectively after extended use.

The DWR finish may be wearing off. Clean the jacket and use a DWR-restoring spray, then tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the coating.

Stiff movement when wearing a harness.

Ensure the dual tether hem drawcords are adjusted to sit above the harness belt to prevent bunching.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight and breathable
  • Excellent wind protection for high-energy alpine movement
  • Packs down small into its own pocket
  • Articulated design prevents restriction during overhead reaches

Cons

  • Not intended for heavy, prolonged rainfall
  • Lacks insulation for extreme stationary cold
  • Slightly minimalist pocket configuration

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best performance, tighten the dual tether hem drawcords to prevent drafts from entering at the waist while wearing a rucksack or harness. The elasticated cuffs are designed to be low-profile, fitting easily under gloves or over watch straps. To maintain the jacket's performance, wash in cool water with a technical detergent designed for synthetic fabrics. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impair the moisture-wicking capabilities of the interior grid lining. Air drying is recommended to maintain the integrity of the synthetic fibers and to ensure the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating lasts as long as possible.
